Boucher said on Tuesday that in a best-case scenario, Lecavalier might be back in 10 days. But Lecavalier said on Friday that there is no timetable. He said he does not have pain doing day-to-day things.

Kind of conflicting information on the wounded center. Needless-to-say, don't expect him back this week.

Dominic Moore is on the ice for #tblightning this morning after missing Tuesday

Moore was held out of yesterday's practice due to an illness. Through his first three games, the third line center already has a goal and an assist. As a vital member of the team's checking lines, his absence yesterday was likely precautionary.

Boucher, as of today, expects Moore to be ready for Friday opener vs Carolina, provided rest of this week goes well

Doesn't sound serious as Moore has no structural damage on his back. Last season he scored 18 goals and 32 points while provided solid, two-way play on the third line. Expect him to repeat those totals this season under coach Guy Boucher.
